Never encountered that Postage Due stamp either. Like you said, I hope it's just the case of the local post office's Newman.<br /><br />Happy you enjoyed the latest assortment. Sorry it's taken my so long to post a 'thank you' for the incredible stuff you sent me recently.

I guess it depends on the mailperson. I remember Asadoorian's cards were red hot in 2000; I was trying to build the Topps Finest set and his RC was at least $25. Those 1994 Museum Collection parallels were big bucks once, too. I cracked a ton of Pinnacle packs trying to get those and only ended up with two or three. <br /><br />As for that Donruss Collections card, it is a separate set, yes. A block of cards from all the Donruss releases were released into one large set. There should be small numbering on the back that differs from the original and (as you can tell) the cardstock is lighter, smoother and curls easily. Hope that helps. <br /><br />Funny you should mention SLUs...I just wrote a post about them an hour ago. Not sure if I had a Greenwell, but it wouldn't surprise me since Red Sox were the easiest to obtain in Ct, where I grew up.<br /><br /><a href="https://thepedestriancollector.blogspot.com/2016/09/buying-back-my-childhood-starting-lineup.html" rel="nofollow">The Collector</a>Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10268829182522679026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525636942493401977.post-15259351421970519582016-09-14T14:54:13.716-04:002016-09-14T14:54:13.716-04:00The extra 21 cents could either mean that the post...The extra 21 cents could either mean that the postal worker judged the envelope to be non-machinable (meaning it didn't seem bendable/flat enough to go through the sorting machines) or it weighed over 1 ounce. Usually you're safe with like 8 cards, but once you go to like 10, you run the risk of needing the extra 21 cents, though postal workers will often let it slide if it's not too egregious. Happens to me every once in a while on the receiving end, though thankfully I haven't heard of any of my outgoing PWEs coming up short.defgavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15338984361942309651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4525636942493401977.post-13303678836039228232016-09-14T14:49:05.939-04:002016-09-14T14:49:05.939-04:00Great batch of cards.
